Allied Air not taken over by SAHCOL

The Skyway Aviation handling Company Limited (SAHCOL) has not taken over the operations of Allied Air as contained in some reports last week.

SAHCOL’s spokesperson Basil Agboarumi said the report was not correct.

In statement at the weekend, Agboarumi said: “Some recent report with the headline: “SAHCOL takes over Allied Air”, is not correct.

“The true situation is that SAHCOL has won the Ground Handling Contract of the Allied Air flight operations in Nigeria.

“By this contract, SAHCOL shall now be providing ramp and cargo handling services to Allied Air Operations in Nigeria.

“This further shows that SAHCOL has successfully established a very strong market presence in the domestic and international aviation industry with an unrivaled delivery of exceptional passenger, ramp and cargo/warehousing services. Which is evidenced by the number of airlines that have recently moved from the competitor to SAHCOL.”
